This week in Reading, each student will be issued an "Elements of Literature" text book. Students, remember to maintain these books in the condition in which they are issued, or you will pay a text book fee at the end of the school year.
Also, this week, I will be administering a Reading Diagnostic test to each student. This test will help me to determine what each student's strengths and weaknesses are in reading.
Since the library will not open to students for at least another week, we will begin reading our first classroom novel entitled "Catherine Called Birdy" by author Karen Cushman. We will also begin making entries into our Reading Journals this week. Students will also receive and begin working on their first set of vocabulary words. They are as follows:
1. appalling
2. contagious
3. eminent
4. epidemic
5. intentional
6. myriad
7. picturesque
8. probable
9. romantic
10. ruthless
Home reading logs will be distributed and are due on this Friday. No exceptions.
Remember that you are REQUIRED to bring your Reading Notebook and Reading Journals to class EVERY DAY!
